German language

Language Overview

German is a West Germanic language, thus related to and classified alongside English and Dutch. It is one of the world’s major languages and the most widely spoken first language in the European Union.

Regions Spoken

German is spoken primarily in Germany (more than 80 million speakers), Austria (8 million), Switzerland (4.6 million), Belgium (75.000 people), Luxembourg ( 390.000). The majority of the small population of Liechtenstein also speaks German. Outside of Europe and the former Soviet Union, the largest German-speaking communities are to be found in the United States, Canada, Brazil and in Argentina where millions of Germans migrated in the last 200 years.

Population

German is spoken by approximately 105 million native speakers and also by about 80 million non-native speakers. Standard German is widely taught in schools, and universities.

Brief History

The history of the language begins with the High German consonant shift during the migration period, separating Old High German dialects from Old Saxon. English and German languages belong to the Germanic family. English, as a matter of fact, was originally a variety of West Germanic in approximately 500 BC. It was not until 200-700 AD that both languages began to diverge, in those days they were “High German” and “Old English”. Over the centuries these dialects continued to adapt and evolve into the distinct languages we know today. After World War II ended, the destruction that stretched across the country led allied countries including the United States and England to send aid to Germany. Since that time, the friendly relationship between Germany and English-speaking nations has grown, leading to a need for clear and accurate communication. This relationship was further solidified in the early ’90s when the Berlin Wall was finally dismantled, opening up the entire country to freedom, and to free enterprise.

Why Translate Your Documents and Websites into German?

Spoken primarily in Germany, Austria, Liechtenstein and two-thirds of Switzerland, German is the most extensively spoken first language in the EU , above both French and English. German has close to 100 million native speakers across Europe, as well as many other speakers worldwide. The majority of Germans, Swiss and Austrians do not speak English. They use German language Internet and German Search Engines.

The modern German government is heavily involved in promoting the German language throughout Europe and the world. Its worldwide organization, the Goethe Institut promotes the study of language abroad and teaches about art and culture associated with Germany. “Instituts” can be found in 92 countries worldwide, including a branch on Cuba Street in Wellington.

Today, many companies from around the world do business in Germany, and some of the best products and engineering come from that country. Germany is known for its superior car brands such as BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Audi, Porsche, and Volkswagen. Other companies such as Bosch and Deutsche Telekom have also taken the world by storm, producing high quality products distributed throughout the world.
